**WHO AM I?
An inspirational cook who just loves to mix it up by blending a pinch of cockney cheek, with a cup of Jamaican personality, all served up, on a homegrown kiwi plate. And, if you can’t keep up with my pace or you’re trying to track me down, you’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties…….
I’ve been cooking since I was 7 for my large family, back in London and then, of course as a mother myself! However, my springboard into this foodie world – where passion meets purpose – was boosted by my runner up place in MasterChef NZ 2011, one of the most incredible experiences of my life. A rollercoaster ride of mammoth proportions, which I would do again in a heartbeat.
I regularly rove the world in pursuit of food from my home base of Christchurch, New Zealand.
